I can't find a decent OS. It seems that all of them are shit.

Am I the only one that have this kind of though?
Only Android Desktop can save us.
macOS is the best OS. I feel sorry for Pajeets™ and GNU/Pajeets since they are missing out on the world's most advanced desktop Operating System.
>>55505613
Have you actually tried anything but Windows so far? By tried I mean more than half a day.
>>55505719
I currently tried to use for a week Linux Mint. Also Tried for 2 month Ubuntu with GNOME 2, GNOME 3, KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, KDE It was year 2012.
I also help an old man trying to use OS X on a iMac 2012 and I've understand that out of "apple softwares" it's all a lot gimped. Also I don't like the idea of "You want to use OS X?, you have to buy the computer that WE want."
>>55505613
>I can't believe people are still believe that they are "perfect" for musician.
> "perfect" for musician.
Lol, I heard a lot of bullshit but it's the first time I heard this one.
OS X is just a good overall os.
We all now it's not liked here because people on this board can't afford a mac.
>>55505613
install OS X
Hackintosh is great and so is OS X
Why don't you tell us your expectations?
>>55505613
So do you have an actual critique of OS X or
>>55505862
pretty much everyone who claims to hate os x never used it for more than a day/week
>>55505613
So you have literally no actual arguments against OSX?
>>55505902
Not seeing any arguments. You don't have to buy Apple hardware. Hackintoshes work perfectly fine now.
>>55505690
OSX (and Apple products in general) is really polished and nice, but it shits all over freedom, and you have to pay out the ass for it.
>>55505902
helping doesn't mean using it for a week at least
>>55505875
They often say things like "I don't want a locked down OS like OS X" when it's really a lot less locked down than Windows. They just think OS X is the desktop equivalent to iOS, but it's really not.
>>55505902
That >>55505830 is not a critique, it just sounds like you don't know what you are doing.
>>55505613
>Gnu/Linux it's a too much terminal dependant
eh, no
>>55505830
OS X is great for me because it has the same terminal support as Linux, but none of the terminal dependence you complain about. Its install/uninstall system feels "cleaner" than windows and easier to use than Linux. Also, it's the best OS for laptops, getting very good battery life and entering and leaving s3 sleep almost instantly.
>>55505956
also i personally prefer homebrew over other (windows and linux) package managers
>>55505690

Don't forget that Darwin is open.
>>55505976
What about firefoxOS?
>>55505613
im in the same boat with ya op.
windows is both hideously overpriced and spys on me (one or the other asshole no double dipping).
Linux is just fucking ludicrous...id use it if they only had maybe 3-5 competing distros. there was a thread a few days ago about how arch coundnt run steam, the p was told because its made for ubuntu. what the hell its all linux it should all just work, but its literally 500 different operating systems for no goddamned reason.
And the linux community is toxic as fuck group of ideallistic commies...that doesnt help.
Osx is childish at best but it just werks....on apple proprietary hardware and nothing else. Sure you can try a hackintosh but compatability problems abound. If apple wanted to rule the world it would liscense OSX as a real operating system.
yeah...at this point hoping google can save us. But they do not seem to really give a shit about a full on desktop android/chrome hybrid. And if they do get thier shit together it likely wont support custom built pc's anyway.
so yeah life fucking sucks. you get a choice at least...but every choice is absolute shit.
>>55505989
>Osx is childish at best
What does this mean?
>>55505989
I was the same until I actually installed hackintosh. It's not that bad since ~2013, no compatibility issues turned out for me even though i had to install 2 kexts.
>>55505875
I own a mac and OS X is pretty shitty. There's so much hidden bullshit that you can actually realize how well documented and easy to use a linux system is, even without the aid of google. Constant command+option clicking just to get to the screen rotation setting, really? Forget all the stupid little bugs with expose, finder, mail, and the notification center (had to disable the gesture and use a hot corner, it tended to stick halfway), and focus on how user-friendly apple likes to stuff shit behind weird tricks.
But hey, it's not windows
>>55505862
>>55505889
Apple samefag shills out in full force today
>>55505989
>Osx is childish at best but it just werks
Use your big-boy words. Come on, you can do it.
>>55506012
no problems for me, and it's all really documented in helpfiles
i still use Mavericks though
>>55505999
As a former applecare support person...OSX is geared towards the dumbest motherfuckers alive.
mind you if it was actually comercially availiable for install on any system id still pick it over the alternatives, but that shit is made for retards. Look up gatekeeper, nuff said.
>I can't find a decent OS
fuck off
>>55506030
>As a former applecare support person...OSX is geared towards the dumbest motherfuckers alive.
This means nothing. What's the argument?
>Osx is childish at best
>>55506012
>literally too stupid to use macOS
$0.02 have been deposited into your designated shitting street.
>>55506030
While OS X is dumb user-friendly, it doesn't make it a bad OS for a 'power user'. All security measures are easily disableable.
>>55505986
Darwin is just the kernel. The OS itself isn't open.
>>55506041
I already told you to look up gatekeeper. the have a walled garden mentality. OSX is the OS you give your grandmother because it wont allow her to break it by default. it does this but not allowing the user to do much of ANYTHING by default....DUMBASS.
>>55505986
>M- Muh kernel is open source!!
The entire UI and every underlying application is closed-source lmao
>>55506065
No, Darwin is the operating system. The kernel is XNU.
>>55506065
>>55505986
Shh don't tell the Mac fag facts. Those hurt their feelings, they're sensitive little guys
>>55506060
this is true hence why I said id use it. but i do find it obnoxious that these things are there in the first place. its rather insulting that apple needs to protect the user from themselves by default.
once the OS is good and solid but these things bug me, minor though they may be.
>>55506074
See
>>55506076
The GUI components (Aqua and shit) are closed-source yes. But you'll find that 90% of OS X is open.
You want to know something interesting? Your GNU/Linux installing is most likely not fully-open either, proprietary kernel modules everywhere and senpai
Not every Linux distro is open source too
>>55506067
Filed under: Not an issue
>>55506087
>its rather insulting that apple needs to protect the user from themselves by default
Windows does the same thing. And one of the reasons linux will never be widely-used on the desktop is that it doesn't do this enough. Only difference is, with OS X, you still have the terminal so you can circumvent shit like pic related.
lmaoing at all the fags starting to use applel now. Now when it's over and gay.
It's over, niggers.
Enjoy your genius bar support and dead hack forums.
OP here. I think that's only my Autism.

>Buying PC parts that require proprietary kernel extensions
>>55506024
Helpfiles are a mess compared to man pages. It's not easy and time saving to use them in the least.
Apple must be living in the past, where people actually read the manual cover to cover before using software instead of learning as they worked via a discoverable and self documenting interface.
>emacs is easier to learn than apple macs
top kek
>>55506108
Um, kubuntu at least prevents users from adding and removing from sensitive files. You need to go into root to do it.
The thing I like about os x is that when i try to do something system-related in GUI (like making a file starting with dot or modifying core Unix directories) it warns me, while giving option to proceed. Why doesn't windows do this?
>>55506115
Try providing a counter-argument instead of pasting tumblr memes, breh.

>>55505613
>Let's criticize operating system using ONLY MEMES
Seriously though, stop typing like a retard and actually try to bring up points with at least some substance.
>>55506060
csrutil, rootless.conf, and the protected flag aren't even documented. You're not supposed to use it outside of "csrutil enable" and "csrutil disable".
The options were discovered by literally running "strings" on the binary and guessing based on what was in the file and what changed
>>55505989
>yeah...at this point hoping google can save us.
yeah, I'm sure they will make a OS that doesn't spy on us
U all smoke 2 much ganja. The paranoia is getting real. Dont use ur computer if ur scared motherfuckers go to church
>>55506141
>Maybe five parts of the user experience open-sourced

What are you trying to defend? Lmao

dude what
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/ConfiguringSystemIntegrityProtection/ConfiguringSystemIntegrityProtection.html
i used os x for a few years and the novelty eventually wore off, windows is a big no for me too
i dont know why people get so offended about what other people run on their computers, it's like a dick length competition or someshit
>>55505613
>also the community it's actually a real shit
Just like your English, Pajeet.
>>55506195
In macOS, nearly everything under-the-hood is open. That's my point.
>Maybe five parts of the user experience open-sourced
How much do you get paid per post, Prakeet™?
>>>55506200
is Pajeet like the Indian equivalent to John?
Using Apple: constantly having to defend yourself and your ass.
Gee, I wonder why.

Oh yeah apple is a real power user's OS all right, blows that pieced together, unprofessional, hard to use linux shit out of the water
Seems like half of u people in this thread identify urselves with ur favorite OS. Maybe yall should turn cyborg and install it in ur mecha brains so u finally can rest in peace

How much are you? My OS is actually free and open-source, what would I gain from shilling it. :v)
>>55506309
>My OS is actually free and open-source,
Unless you're using GNU/Linux-Libre (you're not), then your OS isn't fully free and open source. You are an embarrassment to Richard "the autist" Stallman.

I never claimed "My OS is actually free and open-source" like you did, when it in fact isn't. Try being more knowledgable next time, GNU/Ragu.

no, you're thinking of chrome os
>>55505986
Yes Darvin is open. However the kernel shipped with OS X is only based on Darvin, there still unknown non-open code in your shipped kernel
>>55506506
OS X's kernel, XNU is 100% open-source. Darwin, the Operating System likewise, is 100% open source.
